All of Some Girls are Bigger Than Others. Bad lyrics on the merits, made worse by following There is a Light, and by the fact that he did *that* to one of Johnny Marr’s best guitar tracks
All right, what are the worst song lyrics you've ever heard?

The design for Manchester United's new stadium was mocked as a "circus tent" online, but new YouGov research shows that the club's fans mostly like it - and support the decision to leave Old Trafford. More here: business.yougov.com/content/5181...

New YouGov polling on rumours that UEFA plans to remove extra time from CL knockout stages: 45% of football fans are in favour, 35% are opposed.

Also asked about bringing back the away goals rule - 47% would reinstate it, 28% would not. More here:

UEFA considers scrapping extra time from knockout games - but are football fans happy to go straight to penalties?
More fans support the measure than oppose it. Fans also more likely to support bringing back the "away goals" rule.

The story in "The Last Waltz" about how the other members of The Band paid Garth Hudson $10-a-week for "music lessons" so that he could tell his parents he was a teacher, rather than in a band, is one of my favorites. In the doc, he's rarely in the spotlight, but always brilliant. #RIP
Garth Hudson, Organist for The Band, Dies at 87
The Canadian virtuoso, known for his solo on "Chest Fever," gave the group a "sound twice as big" and his mates music lessons.

Newport '65: Bob Dylan goes Cats

Dylan bio is very watchable but sort of exactly what you expect, the story of a cool mean guy terrorising some goodhearted simpletons with a Stratocaster

Polled this recently and fwiw most Britons are comfortable with the idea of solo cinema trips (although they don't do it v. often). People who think it's odd can be very loud about it but wonder if the stigma of seeing a film alone is largely just self-consciousness at this point

Spent all day looking for a copy of Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and then I found it and the sheer heft unmanned me. I no longer possess the mental energy required to get through a 900 page novel about a cowboy called Woodrow and it is time to move to a place of acceptance

For years I didn’t get into The National purely because I seem like a guy who would be into The National. I closed myself off to something I knew I’d like to spite a hypothetical person who might (but likely wouldn’t) make a reasonable assumption. A silly waste! Never getting into Tame Impala though
